Where Docker fits
Containers help keep runtime dependencies consistent between engineers, build systems and hosting environments.
Engineering priorities
- Use small maintained base images
- Separate secrets from images
- Define health checks and shutdown behavior
The tradeoff
Containers package processes; they do not automatically provide backups, scaling or high availability. Those require an operating design around the workload.
How we evaluate the fit
We review your existing architecture, integrations, team skills and operating constraints. Where feasibility is uncertain, a focused technical experiment tests the hardest assumption before we commit to a larger implementation.
Our handover includes the build and release approach, dependency responsibilities and the documentation needed to continue the work. Technology choice is recorded as a decision with reasons, rather than a requirement to follow a preferred stack.
